I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that an Appeals Officer, having fully considered all of the available evidence, has decided to disallow the appeal of the person concerned by way of a summary decision on the grounds that they failed to provide all requested and relevant information, and that the totality of the evidence provided is not sufficient to indicate that the care recipient requires continual supervision and frequent assistance to the level provided for in the legislation.

The person concerned will be notified of the Appeals Officer’s decision in the coming days.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
